NIC 251201 - Manufacture of metal containers for compressed or liquefied gas

Manufacturing codes apply when the business transforms inputs into a new product through mechanical, chemical, manual or industrial processes. Pure buying and resale should be checked under wholesale or retail trade.

Choose the Sub-class that best matches the main product line by revenue or production value. If multiple product lines are material, compare 251202 Manufacture of reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers of metal, whether or not lined or heat-insulated, 251203 Manufacture of central heating boilers and radiators and parts and accessories thereof, 251299 Other manufacture of tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal n.e.c. and document the primary activity before filing.

Check the parent hierarchy, compare 251202 Manufacture of reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers of metal, whether or not lined or heat-insulated, 251203 Manufacture of central heating boilers and radiators and parts and accessories thereof, 251299 Other manufacture of tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal n.e.c., and confirm that the official title matches the main revenue activity. For regulated or filing-critical decisions, verify the source row in the MoSPI dataset.

A wrong code can cause mismatched business descriptions, follow-up questions or later compliance cleanup. It is better to compare nearby codes before filing than to correct a weak classification later.

Use the legacy converter only as a migration aid. Old NIC 2008 matches can suggest where to look, but NIC 2025 should remain the primary reference for new code selection.
